Sidgreaves - MD}14/EL.5.35 There is a very interesting article on Pages 565 and 566 of this week's "Motor" and in particular I should like to draw your attention to the concertina packing round the pedals to prevent the entry of fumes, as illustrated on the second page. This is something with which it might be worth making an experimental test on SpectreCodename for Phantom III. In any case I cannot see that it would do any harm and, if it helps to keep even a small amount of heat and smell out, it would be an advantage and a selling feature as indicating the trouble we take.
